Planning for passion

This evening is my one Greenbelt duty for the week, running a session on the Manchester Passion.

Accordingly, and a little reluctantly, I skip the organised pilgramage as I need some sleep/rest and time to prepare. To be honest I'm feeling quite solitary and the thought of a private day of sleep/run through the DVD and work out additional edits etc for the first part of the morning, followed by a private pilgramage of my own for the rest of the day, appeals greatly.

And it's wonderful; time to walk, explore and reflect. Time to walk for miles and then find the perfect rock to sit on and just be.

For a while at least...until I start panicking about the evening again.

Time to think it through, prepare some thoughts.

Though it's tempting to fill the one hour session with a viewing of the programme in full (that will be one hour in duration then...) I guess people might feel a bit short changed by that, so I show a brutal edit and try and give some thoughts and set up some points for discussion.

I’ve been dreading it...there’s reasons why I work behind the scenes usually.

It seemed to go ok. Well either that, or people are just lying to be nice.
